Answer:

25.4%

Explanation:

Portfolio standard deviation =  Proportion in the risky asset X Standard deviation of risky asset

                                               28 = 37x

Solving for x derives:-

                                         28/37  = x

Expected return of the portfolio =  14%( 1- (28/37)) + 29%(28/37)

                                                     = 25.4%

Therefore, the expected return on the portfolio is 25.4%.

dedylja [7]

Answer:

The adjusting journal entry would be:

Debit: Bad debts expense $5,317

Credit: Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $5,317

Explanation:

Debit: Bad debts expense $5,317

Credit: Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $5,317

Explanation of the entry:

Allowance for doubtful debts at the end of the year = $402,000 × 2% = $8,040

Credit balance at the start = $2,723

Allowance for doubtful accounts = $8,040 - $2,723 = $5,317

The Allowance for Doubtful Accounts presently has a credit balance of $2,723 and allowance for doubtful debt at the end of year is $8,040, you need to enter an additional credit amount of $5,317 into the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. The other part of this adjusting entry will be a debit of $5,317 to Bad Debts Expense.

It is a binomial distribution with n = 150, p = 0.51

mean = np = 150 multiply with 0.51 = 76.5

SD= sqrt(np(1-p) )= 6.1225

Since np and n(1-p) > 5, we can assume the distribution is normal.

B) please see the attached file.

c)  It is a binomial distribution with n = 150, p = 0.02

mean = np = 150*0.02 = 3

SD= sqrt(np(1-p) )= 1.71464

Since np < 5, we cannot assume the distribution is normal.
